|    removing clear over-spray from glass    |
|    25 Apr 25 14:26:03    |
      From: suzyw0ng@outlook.com              Returned from Easter holidays and found car windows had overspray on       them. No idea who did it, it was parked in driveway. Anyway their are       lots of tiny clear drops which are a problem when the sun shines on       them. I am sure methylene chloride paint stripper would get if off, but       that is pretty nasty stuff. I got some grafitti remover, which comes in       plastic bottle, so I didn't think that would be too harsh. It does seem       to attack rubber, so have to mask that off. Looks like it dissolved the       small drops, but wiping with rag has smeared that into a thin film. So       to get rid of that, used rags soaked in acetone. I chilled the acetone       in the refrigerator, so it doesn't evaporate so quickly. Has anybody       found a better solvent for this? Turpentine or alcohol seem pretty useless.              Second problem - it is also on paint. Being clear, you can't really see       it, but you feel it when you run your hand over it. I doubt there is       anything that will get off the over-spray without also damaging the       paint. It is plain old solid white, not metallic with clear coat.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
